Hello everyone, I have a 2003 Taurus SE, Vulcan engine with 190,600 miles. The car is new to me, and I have replaced the plugs, plug wires, and ignition coil so far. The CEL is not on, but I haven't been to the parts store to check for pending codes. The car runs as smooth as silk. Plenty of power, idles smooth, it runs almost like a new car. While going to work the other day, when traffic started to slow on the interstate, I was almost down to 20-30 MPH, and the car died. I tried to restart it, but it wouldn't start back. Got it to the side of the road, and tried a few more times, but it wouldn't start. After 2-3 minutes of sitting, while calling work, and my wife, I tried again, and the car started, but would die after about 5-10 seconds. After another 2-3 minutes, the car would start, and continue to run, until I put it in gear, then it would die. The state DOT help truck stopped traffic, and got me to the right side of the interstate by pushing the car. This took about 5 minutes. After the DOT truck got me across, the car would start, continue running, and I could put it in gear and it wouldn't die. I was able to drive the car to the next exit without any problems, except it died while I was coming to a stop in the parking lot of a gas station. While waiting on my wife, I checked for anything obvious, but couldn't find anything. By the time she got there, (20 minutes or so), the car would start and continue to run. Since I had the wife with me, I decided to try to drive it home. (About 35 miles away). It made the trip without a hitch. This car idles perfect, and runs perfect, I just wanted to see if anyone has any ideas what could cause this, and give me a nudge in the right direction. It seems to be intermittent so far, but I don't want to miss anymore work, or be late to work because of this. I'm thinking it might be electrical in nature, but I'm not sure, and I don't want to just throw parts at it either. Like I said, the CEL is not on, not sure about pending codes yet. I don't have a code reader yet, so I can't check fuel trims or anything like that. Thanks in advance for all the help, David
